Beating Summer Acne: Your Go-To Guide for Clear, Healthy Skin

Summer heat, humidity and extra sunscreen can all conspire to trigger breakouts. But with the right daily routine and in-spa treatments, you can stay glowing—and acne-free—no matter how high the mercury climbs.

Why Acne Flares in Summer

• Sweat + Oil Buildup: Heat makes glands work overtime, trapping bacteria in pores.

• Heavy Sunscreens & Makeup: Rich formulations can clog follicles if not fully removed.

• Inconsistent Exfoliation: Skipping gentle exfoliation lets dead cells accumulate, leading to congestion..

Daily Summer Skincare Tips

• Double-Cleanse: Use a gentle, oil-free gel cleanser morning and night to wash away sweat, SPF and impurities without stripping moisture.

• 
  

• Lightweight Moisturizer: Opt for a hydrating, non-comedogenic gel or lotion—your skin still needs hydration even when it’s humid.

• 
  

• Broad-Spectrum SPF: Choose a mineral or oil-free sunscreen (SPF 30+). Reapply every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming.

• 
  

• Exfoliate Smartly: Incorporate a salicylic-acid or gentle enzyme exfoliant 1–2×/week to keep pores clear—avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate.

• 
  

• Stay Hydrated & Cool: Drink plenty of water and seek shade or A/C during peak sun hours 11 AM - 3:00 PM peak sun hours (11 a.m. – 3 p.m.).
